Okay but genuinely, the dick riding for Brightline is unreal, American News Outlets genuinely think that all of the public and Public private partnerships are either fake or bad and will never get done, but the private entity that has little experience in railway management, they will manage to build a High Speed Rail Service that can't actually fund the project without massive tax payer subsidies will be able to solve all our problems because a private entity can be trusted with public infrastructure and one of the most Climate threatened cities in the nation that exists entirely as an entertainment venue is the perfect place to build a high-speed rail line.
Seriously, they think that this fucking private enterprise has been sent by God to solve America’s transit Woes, which does nothing but hasten the decline of American Passenger Railroads as only short profitable routes will remain under a privatized rail system which is promised by Brightline. Also High Speed Rail in the US already has a fucking Model, it’s called the Acela and it works!! And California High-speed Rail is only in this situation because of Anti Transit Republicans pulling Federal Funding from it keeping the project off schedule and they had to aquire land, something Brightline doesn’t have to do because another company did all of the environmental review and land acquisition over a decade just like CAHSR but because Brightline bought the company and made the announcement after that was done they could pretend it didn’t take just as long to get to their starting point as it took CAHSR to begin construction
